Aviation catering — Cap Haitien, Haiti
VIP & private jet catering with airline catering at Cap Haitien (MTCH / CAP)
CAP (IATA) · MTCH (ICAO)
A 2652 m runway at Cap Haitien takes a wide-body airliner and lets a full three-cabin uplift board in one loading sequence rather than several. AERO GOURMET runs inflight catering and in-flight catering here by hi-loader to galley height, staging every cart on the ramp before the aircraft is called and holding the uplift chilled until the galley door opens.

Airport catering order window at Cap Haitien, Haiti
Aircraft catering sealed from kitchen to galley at Cap Haitien airport
Ramp access is what the loading window at Cap Haitien is built around: the sealed cart leaves our kitchen, crosses the apron under escort and reaches the galley door on a schedule fixed before the aircraft is called to stand. Nothing here is estimated against a generic turnaround; it is timed against the actual rotation filed for this wide-body reference code. The hi-loader lifts the load to galley height itself, so the catering uplift never sits at the foot of the aircraft waiting on a second handler.
Between the kitchen and the stand at Cap Haitien sit screening, an escort and apron traffic, and the chain of custody is planned against the worst of those three rather than the average. A single galley catering run is logged twice: once when the cart is sealed at the kitchen, once again when it is handed over at the aircraft, with the temperature read at both ends. That second reading is what turns a catering uplift into a signed record rather than a delivery note, and it is the document a protocol officer or an ops desk actually checks. Nothing about the route changes rotation to rotation; only the times against it do.
One coordinator owns the seal at the kitchen and the signature at the aircraft.

Crew meals and passenger sets from one kitchen at Cap Haitien (CAP)
The flight kitchen behind Cap Haitien runs hot production, pastry, a cold larder and a protocol line under one roof, which is what lets a scheduled tray order and a sealed VIP specification move through the same building without either one waiting on the other. Airport catering at this station is built on that single production line rather than on split kitchens, so cold-chain custody is unbroken from the moment a tray is packed to the moment it is loaded. HACCP governs every stage of that line, and airport catering here is audited against it rather than against a house standard that changes station to station.
Government flight catering at Cap Haitien is worked by the same named crew every rotation, not by whoever is on shift that day. Each of them carries a security clearance on file, sits on the access list for this specific ramp, and is trained to the household service standards a royal or state movement requires. That continuity is what keeps a sealed uplift accountable from kitchen to aircraft, rotation after rotation.
Halal airline meals and special meals at Cap Haitien
Royal flight catering standards per cabin at Cap Haitien, Haiti
Menus at Cap Haitien are written to the cabin fitted and the mission flown, not to a single house style repeated on every tray. Where the route allows it, dairy, fish and orchard fruit sourced through Haiti sit alongside a standing specification kept on file between rotations, so a repeat operator sees the same standard on the next visit rather than a different one. Inflight catering here is produced against documented allergen, halal, kosher and medical sets, each one labelled by passenger and by cabin before it leaves the kitchen. Nothing reaches the aircraft without that label attached, whatever the cabin it is bound for.
First & VVIP cabins
First and VVIP cabins at Cap Haitien are plated to a written specification rather than to a generic tray count, with à-la-carte and caviar service available on request. VIP flight catering here is filed against the standing order, so a repeat movement sees the same presentation it saw on the previous rotation.
Business cabins
Business cabins at MTCH run on multi-choice hot service built to the galley fitted on the aircraft, boxed in oven-ready formats sized to that same galley. Crew meals, cabin crew meals and pilot meals are packed separately and boarded to the roster, in Cap Haitien as on every rotation through this station.
Protocol & dietary
Protocol and dietary requirements at CAP are documented per passenger before the cart is sealed, covering halal and kosher sets and the full range of IATA special meal codes. Inflight catering for a household, a religious or a medical requirement is produced on a separate line at Cap Haitien and sealed before it leaves that line.

Flight catering airside delivery at MTCH
A wide-body aerodrome reference code at Cap Haitien sets the working assumption for every rotation through this station: a multi-class cabin layout arriving on a single runway, which turns each movement into a documentation and sequencing exercise rather than a volume one. A delegation on that layout is a paperwork problem before it is a food problem, and a repeat charter rotation is a repetition problem the kitchen plans against rather than reworks each time.
The uplift reaches the aircraft here by sealed cart from our kitchen, escorted across the apron and lifted to galley height by hi-loader rather than set down at the foot of the aircraft. In-flight catering at CAP and aviation catering at Cap Haitien run off that same route regardless of which segment is flying, with airline catering in Cap Haitien and inflight catering in Haiti planned stand by stand against the rotation actually filed.
One coordinator holds the chain of custody from the sealed kitchen cart to the signed handover at the stand, on every rotation this station sees.
Airline, charter and VVIP catering at Cap Haitien, Haiti
01
Government and state flight catering at CAP
A 2652 m runway at Cap Haitien takes the aircraft this traffic actually flies, which means state movements are worked on the same wide-body stand as scheduled service rather than a separate one. Government flight catering for state visits and official delegations is documented per passenger, staffed by security-cleared crew, and sealed at the kitchen before catering at MTCH ever reaches the apron, with head of state movements handled to that same written protocol.

Royal and VVIP flight catering at Cap Haitien
Our kitchen holds a wide-body reference code specification on file for private airliners — BBJ, ACJ and wide-body VIP configurations — so a household's standard does not have to be rebuilt each time one lands at Cap Haitien. Royal flight catering and VVIP requirements travel on that same written file between movements, with halal and household dietary needs produced against it and catering at CAP sealed before it leaves the kitchen.

03
Charter and ACMI flight catering at MTCH
Wide-body aerodrome reference code coverage at Cap Haitien is what lets an ACMI or wet-lease operator plan a group movement here on the same terms as a scheduled carrier. Charter flight catering at Cap Haitien covers those group movements and special missions with a full three-cabin uplift counted against the loading sheet, and charter flight catering in Haiti is staged in the order the galleys are laid out rather than loaded piecemeal.

Airline and ad hoc catering at CAP
A single wide-body runway at Cap Haitien forces every rotation through one sequencing plan, which is exactly the constraint ad hoc airline catering is built to absorb. Outstation catering, diversion catering and technical stop catering run off that same plan, and AOG coverage sits alongside a multi-leg rotation without displacing it. Crew meals in Haiti and crew meals at CAP are boxed to the roster on every one of those movements.

Private jet and FBO catering at Cap Haitien
A private airliner or business jet lands on the same wide-body-rated runway as a scheduled carrier at Cap Haitien, which is what lets our dedicated branch reach it without a separate ramp process. Private jet catering in Haiti is delivered to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal on the same cold chain and the same paperwork as an airline uplift, with FBO catering, business aviation catering and business jet catering worked from that identical kitchen line.

“We used the team at Cap Haitien (CAP/MTCH) for contingency catering after an unexpected operational change. Communication was fast and practical, which made a difficult turnaround much easier for our crew. Exactly what we need when operations change with very little notice. Responses were quick whenever we had a question, which helped us keep the flight on schedule.”
★★★★★Scheduled airline
Maja — Airport Operations Lead
“For an operation away from our normal base, we arranged catering for airlines without flight kitchen at Cap Haitien (CAP/MTCH). The team confirmed everything clearly, handled the local coordination, and delivered the order ready for loading. Reliable and easy to manage from the ops desk. The order was complete on arrival and easy for us to check before closing the doors.”
★★★★★Private jet operator
Enzo — VIP Aviation Coordinator

The inclusions were easy to understand, lead time was realistic, and there were no surprises when the final order was confirmed. We appreciated the transparency. From an operational point of view, the service was easy to manage and required very little follow-up.”

Airline catering services FAQ for Cap Haitien
Diversion catering and ramp questions at Cap Haitien
What operations gets asked every week about Cap Haitien.
Ask operations directly →When does airline catering cost get confirmed for CAP?
When cabin count, specification and the loading window are fixed, our desk returns a quotation rather than a published rate, since airline catering cost varies with those three factors on every rotation through Cap Haitien.
Does MTCH produce halal, kosher and the IATA special meal codes?
Every tray carrying a religious or medical requirement is produced on a separate line and labelled to the passenger, covering halal, kosher and the full set of SPML codes before it is sealed for boarding.
Are private jet catering and FBO catering delivered across Cap Haitien?
The same coordinator who runs an airline uplift delivers to the FBOs on the field and the GA terminal, on the identical cold chain and paperwork used for a scheduled carrier.
Who sets the lead time for an order at Cap Haitien Airport?
For a scheduled rotation the desk asks for standard advance notice, and across a charter or ad hoc movement a specification can still change close to departure provided the change reaches the kitchen before the cart is sealed, so how far in advance an order is placed matters less than when it is confirmed.
